Toby

Mixed Breed Cat · Male · Young · 1 year

Lovely Toby is a sweet and affectionate boy who is growing in confidence every single day and is now looking for a wonderful forever family to call his own.Toby can be a little shy when he first meets you, but don’t let that fool you! Once he starts to feel comfortable, his loving personality begins to shine through. He absolutely adores a good head scratch and, if you really want to win him over, food is definitely the way to his heart! This gorgeous boy has previously lived with other cats, so he could potentially share his new home with another friendly feline. With slow and careful introductions, he may also be able to live alongside a calm, cat-friendly dog.Toby could live with older children who will give him the time and space he needs to settle in and continue building his confidence.Once he’s fully settled into his new home, Toby will need access to the outdoors, where he can explore his surroundings and enjoy his adventures at his own pace. Toby has already come such a long way, and it’s wonderful to see his confidence growing. All he needs now is a patient and loving family who will give him the chance to blossom into the affectionate boy we know he can be. Could you be the one to give Toby his happily ever after?

About Toby

What life with Toby looks like

Toby is a young adult mixed breed cat cat waiting at RSPCA Cornwall Branch in Saint Columb.

An adult cat usually shows their personality within a week. Give them a quiet room with everything they need (food, water, litter, hiding spot) and let them choose when to explore. Don't force interaction — every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Toby, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Toby?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. RSPCA Cornwall Branch handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Toby on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Toby if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — RSPCA Cornwall Branch will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Toby already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most cats on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Toby isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with RSPCA Cornwall Branch early rather than rehoming privately; they know Toby and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
